CBE’s Spring Gala is the largest annual fundraising event for CBE and our largest celebratory gathering.
Last year, nearly 400 people attended! Our goal this year is to raise $500,000.
At this year’s gala we’ll celebrate each of the seven decades of membership active in our community, and we'll honor our longtime members, Jules and Julianne Hirsh , who joined CBE in 1967. In addition to being a shofar-sounding legend, Jules served as President of the Board of Trustees in the late 1980s and the mid 2000s and as a b'nei mitzvah tutor for 35 years. Julianne also served on the board, as well as the religious school committee, the ritual committee, the after-school committee, and in countless other ways that supported our growing community.
Whether you joined CBE in the 1970s or the 2020s, on May 29 we will come together to share CBE stories from each decade ; to raise funds that are crucial to sustain the day-to-day support of our spiritual, educational, and cultural programming; and, of course, to have fun!
Our CBE members are what make us the strong, vibrant, inspiring community that we have been for our entire history, that we continue to be today, and that, with your support, we will continue to be for all the decades to come.
We invite you to celebrate the entire CBE community and show your support for CBE by joining the Host Committee or the Friends level for this year’s Gala.
